Teaching a little better
A couple weeks ago my wife shared her story of conflict growing up. She did an awesome job. She shared a few appropriate details, filled in some of the blanks and revealed a bit of her heart. There were tears by her, myself and others. Story has that kind of impact. The simple truth spoken … Continue reading
Must Use Curriculum: ReGroup
I’ve had this DVD in my closet for a few years and had only used it once. Then I pushed myself to look at it again and use in our ABF. I have really been happy with the results. We’ve had a great series helping our existing group to get reacquainted and reminded of the … Continue reading
Sunday Recap — Confrontation
It was a great day today touching on the how and why we confront. The sermon was on the same subject. In fact, for the next two weeks we’ll be on the subject of conflict resolution. Scary stuff for many. Great when we work it through. If you look to the previous post you’ll find … Continue reading
Sunday Ready — ReGroup week 6
There really is so many ways to use this ReGroup DVD. The first few times I reviewed this curriculum I missed the two longer lessons on conflict and confrontation.

Sunday Recap – ReGroup week 2
This was another good week in our ABF as we worked through the DVD series ReGroup. We had great discussion groups. I had to make some adjustments on the fly. I simply had too much. We watched from Session 1 Segment 2 about 6 of the 12 minute video clips. There was a nice break … Continue reading
Sunday Prep — ReGroup part 1
I’m looking at doing the Re-Group DVD series in my ABF for the next few weeks. There’s good content on the why & how of groups. This DVD is done by three guys I really respect in the groups world: Bill Donohue, Henry Cloud & John Townsend. This week’s lesson in on “why community.” There’s … Continue reading
Sunday follow up – gal5
Context, context, context. One of the first lessons in understanding a text is context. I was reminded of this interpreting device this Sunday as I taught. We were in Galatians 5:13-26. This is the great passage on the fruit of the Spirit. I’ve always loved this list of godly characteristics. I’ve taught from it, shared … Continue reading
